"Strategic use of a remote work force and supporting technologies can be a competitive game-changer in this down economy, especially for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) that have historically trailed large enterprise companies in adopting remote working practices," said Michael Park, corporate vice president of the US small and midmarket solutions & partners group at Microsoft.

Buffalo, New York
Salt Lake City, Utah
Raleigh, North Carolina
Oklahoma City. Oklahoma
Nashville, Tennessee
Charleston, South Carolina.
Greensboro, North Carolina
